remind me - what rewrite will be required?
Remove your own memory allocator.
Probably the simplest is to always reserve some ST-RAM on bootup, and let
stram_alloc()/stram_free() use that reserved pool.
I've seen your work on the chip RAM driver, will take a close look at
adapting this for ST-RAM when I return from overseas.
When will you return, just in case I come to it before that (woow, I
feel overly optimistic now)?
Has anyone besides me tried http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/6/5/46 on top of

Hm, well. It doesnât include the âReserve ST-RAM earlyâ patch â
but we know how to work around the problem, for now, I think.
Letâs just hope itâll end up in 2.6.40 upstream.
I'm sorry, it won't make 2.6.40, unless someone does the rewrite before Sunday
(Linus flying to Japan, end-of-merge-window).
